Those files may be executable and the user wants them to execute. For
example:
- Shell scripts the user has written to perform commonly-used actions
- Windows executables opened with WINE
For this reason, we should stop explicitly blocking running executable
files when accessed with KRunner runners or Kicker/Kickoff/Application
Dashboard, and instead show the typical "open or execute?" dialog that
respects the user's setting for what to do in this case.
BUG: 455924
FIXED-IN: 5.26
* Not just apps, also documents and contacts can now be added
to the favorites. All types of content have their full context
menu action list available also in the favorites sidebar.
* Contact favorites use the contact photo as icon, with a circular
alpha mask and the presence status icon as overlay badge.
* Adding/removing favorites from context menus now works every-
where, e.g. also in KRunner-based search results.
* Far fewer actions now cause a full rebuild of the model tree
and instead only delta updates, as a side-effect of adding a
mechanism for this to e.g. handle status changes for contact
items.
* Various bugs around hiding/unhiding apps got fixed.
* Lots of code cleanup + less coupling all around.
